Hi Lewis
I really don’t have a clue to be honest but Matt has shown me the bit I need,Where you would normally screw the EQ into the adapter that would normally screw onto the FS60’s drawtube ,I probably was vague in my explanation ,Started to use the FTF on it so can’t use the adapter that fits on the drawtube and really like to use the scope full blown with the EQ 1.6 and CQ 1.7 so need that adapter with a 2” nosepiece to go into the FTF

The Extender Q uses threads, so you would need to have an adaptor made that goes from the threaded front of the extender to whatever the FT drawtube uses. And I have concerns that you will run out of drawtube travel anyway since it is no longer the Tak focuser.
The extender then goes out 2" to the 2" adaptor where you can use 2" diagonals (it is wise to use only a 1.25" diagonal with the FS-60 due to it's very limited backfocus).
So, you'll need to clarify the situation as it is now, and probably talk to Starlight or Precise Parts about an adaptor for the extender. I don't even recall the thread size on the extender (56x0.75 I THINK - could be wrong)
